eulalia

Eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Variegatus') needs to be watered regularly and kept evenly moist, but not overly wet or soggy. During the warmer months, water once a week, and more frequently if the soil feels dry to the touch. During the cooler months, water once every 2 to 3 weeks. If the soil is excessively dry, water more frequently until the soil is moist and water can be absorbed. Make sure to always water deeply and evenly, to ensure moisture penetrates to the roots.

Miscanthus sinensis 'Variegatus' or Eulalia enjoys full sun for at least 6 hours per day. It can tolerate some partial shade during the hot summer months, but it will not reach its full potential without full, direct sunlight. During the winter months, the amount of sunlight needed for this plant species can be around 4 hours of direct sun.

Eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Variegatus') should be pruned in late winter or early spring, right before any new growth begins. Do this by cutting back the whole plant to approximately 30 cm tall. This stimulates new growth and helps the plant become denser and bushier. Pruning is beneficial for maintaining a good size and shape as well as encouraging large and lush foliage. Additionally, it helps to remove any dead or damaged stems while encouraging the development of new ones. Be sure not to prune too severely or you may stunt growth.
